Super-fast Transistors On the Way
nbannerman writes "The BBC is reporting about a new kind of transistor, that recently set a world record of 110Ghz. From the article: 'To achieve the speed gain, researchers at the University of Southampton added fluorine to the silicon devices. The technique uses existing silicon manufacturing technology meaning it should be quick and easy to deploy.' The apparent applications for this process include mobile phones and digital cameras."
Now remind me why exactly we need 110GhZ moblie phone processors?
int cents = 0;
cents += 2;
added fluorine to the silicon devices
Not only will the transistors be faster, but whiter and shinier, they won't need to floss.
Rhymes that keep their secrets will unfold behind the clouds.There upon the rainbow is the answer to a neverending story
"Now remind me why exactly we need 110GhZ moblie phone processors?"
So the future will get here faster.
...might taint your precious bodily fluids.
...so this means that Flight Simulator X will run at 10fps instead of 5?
Paleotechnologist and connoisseur of pretty shiny things.
Couldn't they add some Lithium too?
This issue is a bit more complicated than you think.
This sounds like a plot to sap our vitality by adding Flourine to impurify our sacred bodily fluids ^H^H^H^H^H transistors.
Oh, for those who have never seen it, the silly reference is from Dr. Strangeglove.
Precisely! We agree completely.

Listen you "big A-C" Anonymous Cowards, we're against the future. Technology ruined our lives, remember when trolls used to live under bridges? Now we live in basements or apartments. We should go backwards, not forwards!

Ripper: A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard core commie works. Mandrake: Jack... Jack, listen, tell me, ah... when did you first become, well, develop this theory. Ripper: Well, I ah, I-I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love.

It's cheaper to pay a few top engineers to make faster hardware then to pay a mountain of top computer scientists to write stable, fast code.
Yeah, because if the cpu is fast enough, even unstable code works better!
When information is power, privacy is freedom.
Due to economic downsizing, you now have a choice of 'pick one, so long as its fast'
You have 5 Moderator Points!
Which Helpless Linux zealot/MS basher do you want to mod down today?
because if the CPU is fast enough then the software just won't have any time to fail, because it will be very occupied trying to not fall behind the processor. All of the software failures are due to high stress that software is experiencing and the faster the computers are the less time there is for the software to stress, thus it doesn't think about being bloated with all that dead weight and terrible algorythms that much and doesn't get depressed that easily.
You can't handle the truth.
Truely now, how many people modded this insightful because they didn't understand it?
DYWYPI?
"Bipolar trannies" sound very scary.
